WGR reports (trade colts browns)
starrymessenger replied to tito1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Great move by Banner and Lombardi. Trade also works for Indy to the extent TR can be to Luck what Terrell was to Elway. Personally I don't think he's Terrell Davis. JMO. -
Who should the next member of the Wall of Fame be?

Any RW Sightings?
starrymessenger replied to Ed_Formerly_of_Roch's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Haha lol good one. Maybe a picture of either one would be just as good and close enuf to reality. Seriously, hope RW is doing ok given hes standing on the rooftop ledge of a very tall building. Wish I could have so long and productive a life. -

Never lose hope. I'm told Jeremy Bentham still occasionally chairs meetings of some utilitarian society. -

Hard to believe but true nonetheless. -

I wouldn't put it past them. No guarantee that the 15-20 first rounder will amount to anything. Oh wait, of course they are loading to move up in the draft. They love to waste picks they have stockpiled after all. Didn't they burn three picks to move ahead of a team with AP to draft a RB #3 overall? I thought being a Bills fan was tough. -
You're right. He's a colossal talent when healthy but no doubt disgustingly full of himself. His fashion photoshoot was more hilarious than Sachez's. Ever see that thing he does with his arm and wrist in his practice throws? What flare! You would never see Luck act like that. Maybe what we find out in due course is that he doesn't have the ideal personality to lead a team of adult professional players in the long run.

MIA - TJ Graham - Track star with no separation
starrymessenger replied to MClem06's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not a big TJ fan and I would like to see more of Easley for now. But, in fairness the guy is almost always under thrown and never hit in stride. If his hands are good (and I know he has something to prove there) he could take the top off any defence IMO. I just don't see him ever going over the middle much so at best he is somewhat one dimensional. -
Without DA the Pats are very likely losers Thursday night. That's good IMO. The reason is that the Pats are vulnerable this year. They are vulnerable because Brady's supporting cast is much diminished and very possibly also because Brady's looks less consistent in his execution. Everyone has showered him with praise for his clutch performance last Sunday, but he also made his share of mistakes and poor throws. He responded poorly to moderate pressure. Sure they will get better but what I saw Sunday was an 8/8 team that would get its butt kicked by any number of genuine contenders. Jets will not sustain a winning record throughout the season and will implode later. I'd rather see the Pats not separate from the rest of the Division and I think that's the way it plays out. It's also our best chance to be playing meaningful football in November-December for a change.

Think NE's FO is so great?
starrymessenger replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And it should be mentioned that Tavon Wilson also sucks. They did a lot better with that 7th round pick, although he is a criminal. Wish they would cut him. -
...and they were right to do it.

True. Specifically in referencing Kolb, Warner has said that no QB could succeed behind that line. Kolb will face his share of challenges in Buffalo, Mostly an inexperienced receiving corps. He may well show as a good game manager. Fitz's skill set was more limited IMO. I'm glad he's gone. I think Kolb starts ahead of EJ. EJ is not Luck, RG3 or Russell Wilson. He needs grooming. The big unanswered question is how he will respond to it.

Another reason I genuinely like Rex Ryan
starrymessenger replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I've always liked Rex. There's not a mean bone in his body and he makes me laugh. Oh and he's a great DC. -
I cannot imagine that Florida LE could fail to indict AH if he admitted to shooting someone there. They have said that they will not proceed without the complainant in the civil suits cooperation. I find that pretty remarkable in itself since his claim, a public document, alleges negligent use of a firearm/or alternatively the intentional infliction of bodily harm. I did not see where the claim was supported with an affidavit or other sworn statement although normally this would be the case and in any event if the civil case is to proceed his allegations will eventually have to be entered into evidence under oath and be subject to examination by AHs lawyers. With a detailed sworn statement I would have expected the DA to act. It's clear that the "victim" just wants to hit AH up for cash and not pursue a criminal action. But I would have thought what he wanted was pretty much irrelevant. The gist of it is that shooting somebody in the face is also a matter in which the People have an interest-peace, order, good government and bodily security.. After all if he did it once he might go out and do it again to somebody else-oh wait! I wonder if Burriss was the complainant when he shot himself. Or maybe there are no laws in Florida.

I'm confident that AH will be good to go in September. September of 2020 that is. Maybe. Stick a fork in him. With the whole world watching the cops in Florida will also have to investigate the earlier incident. While the "victim" may not have been cooperative while he tried to hit AH up for cash, he has now filed a claim that no doubt alleges facts supporting at the very least negligent use of a firearm and perhaps an outright battery. If the claim is supported by an affidavit of the complainant they are furthermore sworn to. If the cops don't get him, the Commish surely will.

Poll: Should the "Redskins" name be changed?
starrymessenger replied to Just in Atlanta's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Well you know I'm not sure all native Americans feel that way about it. ....zzzzzzzzz... -
Poll: Should the "Redskins" name be changed?
starrymessenger replied to Just in Atlanta's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Well you see it's because I don't think they should be aggrieved. Judging from your comment I would say that you are nothing more than a speck in my rear view mirror. -
Poll: Should the "Redskins" name be changed?
starrymessenger replied to Just in Atlanta's topic in Off the Wall Archives
If any native Americans are offended by the team name, simply put, they should not be. No offence is intended. As for "political correctness", I despise it. In many respects, the KKKs agenda was politically correct, for example temperance. Lots of crazy notions were politically correct in Germany in the 30s. Political correctness often has this element of coercion and oppression. To the politically correct, I would say "just get out of my face already". Changing the team name would involve a failure to recognize that society has in reality moved well beyond the attitudes and conventions that most of us would consider objectionable and unacceptable today. And for the outliers that remain anchored in the past, there is probably nothing that is going to change them for the better anyway. They have in any event been left behind and will eventually be no more than a speck in our rear view mirror. I'm Franco Italian, and I could care less if Jerry renamed his team the Dallas Degoboys or if the Red Legs became the Frogs Legs. I'm not offended by "Bills Mafia". Like the poet says " if the sun refuse to shine, I don't mind. If the hippies cut off their hair, I don't care". -
Chad Johnson, aka Ochocinco, a wanted man
starrymessenger replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The judge overreacted IMO. A stern admonishment followed by an apology, both of which occurred, would have sufficed. As for 85, for sure he is capable of behaving inappropriately relative to societal norms, and generally making poor decisions - for example having anything to do with that nutcase he married. But in my book he was and remains a good person, a very funny guy (albeit lacking in taste sometimes) and a (formerly) great wideout. If we can get 5 or 6 of his best years from any of our young receivers I'll take it - gladly.
